Why-Why (5 Whys) Analysis Training – Permanent Solutions Through Root Cause Analysis
If problems keep coming back, what is usually being solved is the symptom, not the root cause. Grupas Gelişim's Why-Why Analysis (5 Why) program equips teams with the discipline to uncover the true root causes lying deep within a problem and to take permanent countermeasures. In the training, participants gain hands-on skills in asking "Why?" five times correctly starting from the problem definition, seeking evidence at every level, avoiding guesswork, and continuing the analysis until the root causes are reached.
The program centers on the 3 fundamental rules of root cause analysis: go to where the event happened, touch and examine, and speak with data. In addition, the most common mistakes made in the field — rushing to a quick solution by skipping steps, acting on findings instead of causes, collecting insufficient evidence, making decisions without going to the scene, addressing the problem too generally, and failing to involve the relevant people in the process — are covered with examples.
